How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Definitely in my list of "songs to play when I'm dying."

"The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him."

 

 

Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?

I still have this album on vinyl somewhere. Used to love the first song - watching the video tho makes me think of the one bounty hunter from Critters. I wonder what teens in the 2000's will think of their styles 30 years from now. :lol:

Stumbled on a cover of this song earlier during a youtube adventure that began from a linked video on this forum. Then looked up the original.

 

Awesome stuff imo.

 

 

Looks like they're doing a US tour this summer. Think I'm going to make an effort to see them.

 

The cover I found:

and the video that lead to me finding the cover:

the MTV age were... peculiar.  we suspect that folks who listened to the hooters in college bars in philly had a hard time recognizing what they saw in videos.

 

 

peter, paul and mary does background vocals on the linked song.  

 

 

am not a huge hooters fan, but we saw 'em (a couple times) and we were impressed with 'em as a live band after largely having discounted them based on mtv videos and radio play.

 

HA! Good Fun!

speaking of live bands, we got to see when bruce hornsby and bela fleck were touring together... 

 

 

 

that is victor wooten on bass.  

 

is rare you get to see so many virtuoso musicians on stage at one time in small venue settings... other than in blues (and jazz *sigh*) bars in new orleans and chicago.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Immediately thought of this song when I heard the Nemtsov news.

I forget sometimes how good the LotR trilogy soundtracks are...
